Glucose kinase is required for glucose repression of several catabolite-controlled genes in Streptomyces coelicolor and certainly plays an important role in glucose repression in these organisms. We report here that glucose kinase null mutants of S. coelicolor retain transcriptional regulation of the chitinase 63 gene, which encodes an enzyme involved in chitin utilization. Transcription of chi63 is glucose sensitive and chitin dependent. We suggest that glucose repression of chi63 is independent of glucose kinase and that there may be more than one mechanism of glucose repression in Streptomyces spp.
葡萄糖激酶对于天蓝色链霉菌中几个受分解代谢物控制的基因的葡萄糖阻遏是必需的,并且在这些生物体的葡萄糖阻遏中肯定起着重要作用。我们在此报告,天蓝色链霉菌的葡萄糖激酶缺失突变体保留了几丁质酶63基因的转录调控,该基因编码一种参与几丁质利用的酶。chi63的转录对葡萄糖敏感且依赖于几丁质。我们认为chi63的葡萄糖阻遏不依赖于葡萄糖激酶,并且在链霉菌属中可能存在不止一种葡萄糖阻遏机制。
